Daytona, a company
developing cloud infrastructure for AI agents, has raised $60 million in a
Series B funding round at a $1 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to
$91 million. The round was led by FirstMark, with participation from Patrick
Collison (Stripe), Adam D’Angelo (Quora), Brendan Foody (Mercor), Tobi Lütke
(Shopify), Olivier Pomel (Datadog), Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity) and Eric Yuan
(Zoom).
Other investors included
Alumni Ventures, Evergreen Fund, Okta Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, Samsung Next
and Torch Capital. Existing investors also increased their commitments, with
Pace Capital doubling its investment, Upfront Ventures tripling and E2VC
quadrupling theirs.
Daytona develops cloud
infrastructure that provides secure, isolated computing environments where AI
agents can execute code, use software tools and perform tasks. Its platform
enables AI developers and enterprises to train and evaluate models, as well as
deploy and manage AI agents in production.
As AI systems
increasingly move beyond answering questions to performing tasks autonomously,
companies face growing infrastructure demands. Running large numbers of agents
simultaneously requires computing resources that can scale according to demand
while maintaining security and isolation between individual agents.
Daytona addresses these
challenges by allowing companies to launch computing environments for AI agents
through a single API. The platform supports Linux, Windows and macOS, with
computing resources that can expand or contract depending on the requirements
of each task. It also allows agents to pause, resume or explore different
approaches without losing their progress.
Ivan Burazin, co-founder
and CEO of Daytona, highlighted the importance of secure infrastructure as
companies deploy growing numbers of AI agents. He said:
Companies are going to
manage thousands of digital employees, and each one needs a safe place to fail.
Daytona ensures one rule breaking agent doesn’t spill into company wide chaos.
The company provides
infrastructure to Anthropic, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Cursor and Cognition, while its
customer base also includes Meta, Cohere, Mercor, Handshake, Surge AI,
SambaNova, Postman, Bolt.new, n8n and Clay.
Daytona reports growing
adoption of its platform for AI training and evaluation, with customers
including Snorkel and Trajectory using its infrastructure to reduce processing
times. The company also reported a 25-fold increase in its revenue run rate between
January and September.
With the new funding,
Daytona plans to expand its agent cloud platform beyond its initial sandbox
product, scale its computing infrastructure and grow its international team,
with recruitment planned across San Francisco, Croatia and Singapore.
